Deviated and Anti-Islam Sites

This is copied from the website of Dr Bilal Philips. I hope I'm not breaking any rules but I thought this worthy as we have good readership of this forum.



Anti Islaamic Sites



List of anti Islaamic sites and Exposé of 3 sites posting false convert stories



Exposé of three sites posting false convert stories



1. islamreview.com



This site has posted fake stories of how Muslims converted to Christianity. How do I know? Read the following excerpt from one of the stories:



First the 'convert' says: (emphasis added)

In the end, I managed to convince my mother, as it was for Allah and I joined the Islamic College. Having graduated as an ustaz, I was soon posted to my neighbourhood…



And then:

My trip to Mecca for the Haj (pilgrimage) was tiring but eventful. I did not have the rare opportunity to see inside the holy Kabah and the holy idols inside, which Prophet Muhammud had helped to place, as explained in Bukhari’s Hadith



An Ustaz (scholar) in Islaamic Studies is saying that there are idols inside the Kabah and that too placed by Muhammad (saw) himself!?!?!



This clearly shows that the author is deliberately trying to spread misinformation about Islaam and wants to convey to possible reverts to Islaam that it is religion of idol worship.



In fact most of the Christian sites use this tactic of false convert stories but it's not always possible to prove it





2. faithfreedom.org/



AlhamduliLlaah I was able to catch another site posting fake stories of Muslims leaving Islaam. See the false information imparted here. That the attempt is deliberate is known through the claim that the 'convert' has done detailed study about the topic.

For Islamic Education, I had to study about marriage in detail to do well. So, I learnt all the stuff and got the highest grade anyone can get for Islamic Education. And guess what? Because I know it so well, I know that there is a lot of discrimination against women in Islam. Things like a father and grandfather can marry a girl/woman to whomever they want even if the girl/woman doesn’t want to marry that person… In addition, I learned things like women couldn’t be witnesses in Syariah Courts and things like that



The first point here is a total lie whereas the second is a distorted version of the truth.





3. answering-islam.org/Testimonies/younathan.html



Here's yet another extract from a false convert story aimed at spreading misinformation about Islaam..



As I started thinking about my life and the Quran, I realized all Muslims, even the prophet Muhammad, would go to Hell for certain sins they committed in their lifetime.



This is a common ploy of the Christian Missionaries. They first inform gullible victims that Jesus (God) is Love and just by believing in the Crucifixion, you will be assured of Paradise. Whereas the concept of God in Islaam is so harsh that no one will be spared from Hell and that even Prophet Muhammad (saw) was not sure of where he would end up. For this purpose they quote an ayat of the Qur'aan out of context. Here there have gone a step further by saying that even our beloved Prophet (saw) would have to go through hell. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Deviant Sites



1. Sunnah.org

sunnah.org



This is a site to beware of. It is full of deviant Sufism. It has a page in praise of Qasidat -ul Burdaa. It claims that Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al Qayyim, Ibn Hazm, Al-Jazai’ri, Al Abanee and bin Baz are all Innovators!!



Among other false claims on the website are the following statements about Kashf:



Kashf (Unveiling) is a reality which refers to the miraculous knowledge of the awliya (Friends of Allah). Such knowledge attains higher levels than that of any other knowledge of humankind and jinn including in certain cases the knowledge of Prophets…



Thus it is related by one of the Imams of hadith whose word lies beyond suspicion, that "it is well-known that he (Imam Nawawi) used to meet with al-Khidr (as)" and converse with him among many other mukaashafaat



2. I Profess.com

iprofess.com/english.htm





You should know this site so you can avoid its potential harm. This site is meant for new Muslims or non-Muslims thinking about Islaam. Judging from the home page you would feel like recommending this site to new Muslims.



But once on this site, a person is just one click away (literally) from sites which are steeped in deviant Sufi ideas. Also those sites have long articles which try to prove that Kashf, Tariqah, etc are all Islaamically valid. A person without sufficient grounding in the basics may fall into their lure or at least begin to have some doubts. Keep new comers away from this site and there is no benefit in it for 'old hands' either.



3. Sunni Path.com

sunnipath.com/



Suffice it to say that this is a site which teaches the Nu Ha Mim Keller and Faraz Rabbani brand of Sufism



4. Living Islam

abc.se/~m9783/index.html



Among the false teachings of this site is the following example:



Sharî`ah, Tarîqah And Haqîqah

The Tarîqah or Spiritual Path which is usually known as Tasawwuf or Sufism is the inner and esoteric dimension of Islam and like the Sharî`ah has its roots in the Quran and prophetic practice.



5. The Modern Religion.com

themodernreligion.com/



This site is similar to the above sites but more dangerous because its deviant Sufi teachings are not evident in the initial pages.



6. The Way to Truth.org

thewaytotruth.org/



Here's yet another site which does not reveal its true teachings until you are way inside the site. There are long pseudo Islaamic Articles with analogies like the one of a circle and its radii trying to prove their deviant ideas right.



To provide a glimpse of their teachings we have excerpted the following from their site:

Sainthood is a proof for Messengership

Sainthood is a proof for Messengership and the way or spiritual order (tariqa) is evidence for the Shari‘a. For a saint experiences with certainty of seeing the truths of belief communicated by the Messenger and confirms them through the witnessing of his heart and the spiritual pleasure he derives. Such confirmation is a decisive proof for the truth of Divine Messengership.



In another place they have posted the following articles:



THE SPIRITUAL LIFE IN ISLAM: SUFISM

Some Assertions Of Certain Saints

On The Doctrine Of “Unity Of Being”

What Does Knowledge Of God Is Different From Knowledge Of His Existence Mean?

The Nine Clarifications About Muslim Sufism And Following A Spiritual Order



7. Al Baz.com

al-baz.com/



Rating: Deviant site



This is the site for Al Baz book publishers and not a full fledged site. However it has some extracts from their publications so it turns up on search engine queries for Islaamic terms. That’s how we came across this site. Also it is good to know about al Baz publishers so as to avoid buying some of their publications by mistake as their stated goals is ‘… to publish fine English translations of the Treasures of Islam; in particular the works of the great Muslim saints, with special emphasis on the writings and majalis [sessions] of the Chieftain of the Saints, Sultan al-Awliya' Hazrat Shaikh Muhyi'd-din 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, al-Hasani, al-Husaini, may Allah perfume his resting place.’



Here’s an extract from one of their publications posted on the site::



This book contains the words of the Supreme Helper, the Lordly Cardinal Pole, the everlasting edifice, the radiantly shining lamp, the Sultan of the saints and the masters of direct knowledge, the proof of the chosen and those who have reached their spiritual destination, Allah's Gray Falcon, our patron, our master and our exemplary guide to Allah (Exalted is He), the noble highborn patrician, the chieftain, Shaikh Muhyi 'd-Din 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani al-Hasani al-Husain…



8. Islam Rocks.com

islamrocks.com/

This site claims to be about traditional Islam but promotes Sufism and forbidden types of tasawwuf





masud.co.uk

Deviant site promoting Sufis such as Nuh Keller and Abdul Hakim Murad. It has a lot of articles on refuting Salafees which Nuh Keller seems to have a zeal for.



They also promote Q magazine which is a tabloid that’s supposed to be Islaamic but has Sufi undertones.



10. Vashubah.com

vasuhba.com/



The Official Site of the Murids of Shaykh Nuh Keller



Very flashy site inviting you to lessons in Tasawuff by Nuh keller Lessons are offered in the sufi path and tariqas



11. TariqaTapes.com

tariqatapes.com/

Tariqa Tapes is an online site dedicated to serving the murids of the Hashimi-Darqawi Order of the Tariqa of Imam Abul Hasan Al-Shadhili Allah be well pleased with him. Recorded darses available on this site are lectures given by Shaykh Nuh Keller



12. Our world by A.Bewely

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ABewley/

http://bewley.virtualave.net/

Aisha Bewely has translated Adab al mufrad and many gems on Maliki fiqh on her site but sadly promotes Sufisim and group Dhikr. http://bewley..virtualave.net/ this is the newer version of her website but still promotes the same.
